Kids learn at their own pace. Don't worry if your child only says a few word, or even none at all. It might be do to the fact that your kid is shy or they feel no need to talk. If you are the type of parent that knows exactly what your kid wants and acts on that immediately, the kid might feel no need to speak to communicate. Some kids don't talk till they're 3. This doesn't determine the intelligence of that child. Keep pointing at things and say its name and repeat. They will get the hang of it. Props to all those wonderful moms out there. I am confident that this generation of kids will be even better than the last. We need great leaders, and kind and creative people to one day take over.

my son says....noyesmammadaddaboyya ya which is his grandmotherand is tying to learn i love u but all he wants to do is walk. and is learning how to run. I have no idea if thats normal but he is a fast learner.

My 11 month old doesn't really have any distinctive words yet, lots of babbling still. Sometimes we hear mama, dada, ana (big sister), and uh-oh, but I think they are just noises to her. She can sign "milk" and "more" though.

Girls tend to talk earlier than boys. Boys are walkers from the get go. Boys tend to concentrate on the physical part of their developement. So it's only normal for boys to be a BIT behind on the talking part. As long as either are babbling it's a good sign. Be worried if either aren't saying anything at all.

my son will be one on friday the 2nd and he says mama, dada, nana(my mom wanted to be gramma but he insists on nana) he can say kitty, minus the complete vowel sound, and roar!! is a favorite lol, he can also say please, but eh somes out as pees. and wowowow is his new one :] also he says stop! with his hands in the air and everything haha

my son is 1 on the 6th, and says:mama/mamdadabumnanayeahbap (which may be "Bubs", his nickname)neh (no)can't think of any others off the top of my head. He's too busy working on walking and sprouting teeth as fast as he can.

My daughter is 11 months old she just started walking!!But she loves to talk she says adadadad all the time. Daddy, mama, buh bye, uh oh, ow, boca (mouth in spanish) peekaboo, titi (auntie in spanish) go, thank you , and sometimes no. She also makes the hand motions when I sing her patty cake she loves that song.

Wow, I think Rashida's daughter is going to be a rocket scientist/brain surgeon when she grows up! My 11 month old son just babbles, but he's been walking for almost 2 months. Maybe my little guy will walk on the moon someday!

Wow what little chatterboxes some of these babies are, my girl was like that but Ash 11mths is saying mama, dada, grandad, yumyum, mmmm (for milk), has clear sounds for some other words like his sister's name, he clearly understands what we say and has a low throaty grumble he replies with if w tell him no lol!!! We're all different & thats what makes the world go round ;)

holy snapple now Im worried my lil one only says dada one in awhile mama sometimes mostly she makes her lil ya nosies great job other lil ones are talking so much!!! maybe my lil girl is not much of a talker...I talk to her alot...hmmm..???

wow am also surprised with some of the babies here. my daughter almost 11 months and only says mama. but she understands when i tell her no, come here, lets go, give me, she also waves goodbye and gives hi5 and maybe a little more. she is doing better compared to many babies of her age that i see so am not worried.

Phew! Reading all the responses and seeing that other babies can't say many words has made me feel better about my DD. She says mamamamamama, bababaabababa and babbles a few other things. Not much more.

My 11th month old saysdadaba bauh ohmmmm (also while eating)catdog (more like daw)He shakes his head no but doesn't say it, and he loves to click his tongue. He spends way more time crawling around, climbing on things, and walking and even running around in his spinny chair thing than trying to talk. :)

My 10-1/2 month old is just babbling. No real words yet. But, lots of babbles and yells. Oh, and "nyah" meaning "no." His older brother didn't talk until 2-1/2, his father until 3 and his grandma until 4. So, we have late talkers in this family. My older son caught up quickly though, after a few speech classes. So, I'm not really worried. It is really early for kids to be talking at this age.
